WHAT IS “SECURITY”; WHAT IS CONFLICT? Why does “intl.” security matter to us? What is “world peace”? Should we always prefer peace? “War isn’t the answer” TYPES OF WAR AND THEIR PREVALENCE (LOTS OF DATA COMING YOUR WAY) – Hegemonic war – conflict among two or more global powers – Total war vs. limited war – Civil wars an coup d’ état – Guerilla wars and counterinsurgencies – Terrorism (low intensity, non-state violence against civilians) – Genocide – WMDs and war

WHO STARTS WARS???

THE CAUSES OF WAR: INDIVIDUALS? Are we innately violent? Groups, nationalism, and identity Misperceptions by leaders – What kinds of problems do all leaders have? – Why do some states suffer more from problems with leader misjudgment than others THE CAUSES OF WAR: STATE AND ECONOMIC STRUCTURES The democratic peace thesis Domestic economic and resources issues Regime types and information flow Cultures and war

THE CAUSES OF WAR: THE INTL. SYSTEM Anarchy, self-help, the security dilemma Collective security still doesn’t work well The limits of international institutions Some distributions of power in the intl system cause more conflict than others? Biosphere stress may cause more conflict over time HOW IS WAR CHANGING? SOME OF THE BIG QUESTIONS SOCIAL SCIENTISTS ARE LOOKING AT There are a lot fewer wars about resources than there used to be…why is this so? Is this pattern likely to persist? There seem to be more civil wars and wars over nationalism and religion. Why? Are wars over ideology gone or just awaiting competition among multiple hegemons to heat up again? Can we expect more wars in the future in the name of humanity?
